Thank you Deb :)

Karen- lol :D let your mouse hover over the picture and it should display the plant name. But just in case….it is a Diascia ‘Darla Appleblossom’. One of my all time favorite flowers for a container garden! Just wait until it fills out and is in full bloom.

Very pretty and tender.

Catching up on a lot of your recent posts, courious about the fried dandelion flower, what stage is best? bud or bloom?

Hi Lanny, I suppose you could try the buds but I have always heard of frying the blooms. All parts are edible of the plant are edible though so the buds could be included with the greens when they are cooked.

The fried blossoms are really good and I was even able to get my 10 year old to try them (thanks to him helping out in the kitchen!) and he really liked them too!

Wonderful, wonderful photograph! What a beautiful blossom, and your photograph captures it with exquisite clarity.

So glad I decided to explore a little this morning!
